Managing your open source product strategy takes commitment and focus. In large organizations with hundreds or thousands of software products, a dedicated role of Chief Open Source Officer (COSO) has emerged as a new executive position. However, many smaller companies or those with fewer products rarely need a dedicated person to care for and maintain the OSS strategy. For these companies, SilverStream Consulting offers a COSO role as a service.
SilverStream Consulting works with you to establish your OSS strategy and guides you as you introduce OSS best practices into your company:
Identify which of your products to release as OSS
Determine the type of OSS license to apply to your software
Establish the appropriate release cycle and product road map
Guide sales and marketing OSS strategies
This service is offered on an as-needed basis or on a part-time basis according to your needs.
